🎯 Hello Product Hunters 🚢 Excited to finally launching Submitting (3 years on he making!) and keep my product hunt streak alive. I've launched a product every year since 2015! Launching on places like Product Hunt is just one to get more users for you product. Just where else are you supposed to share your product? A question asked and answered many times before. The answer however have usually been static blog posts. Submitting is a living and ever changing place for these lists. Users can (once approved) build their own lists, for whatever niche they operate in! The built in campaign manager is an easy way to track where you've submitted your product. Submitting is free, but there will be some premium features available to paid users only: private lists, team access to campaigns to mention just a couple. Would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!

What are the relative quality levels of users you can find on these other platforms? Are they more or less willing to becoming paying customers?

@chrismessina Great questions, and hoping to add more data in the coming weeks to help answer these types of questions. Based on the URL hoping to add the estimated traffic potential, associated social media reach or newsletter subscriber counts, etc. Doesn't directly answer the question (hard one), but helps to determine the relative quality of the sites I think.

@mubashariqbal yeah — I mean you and I probably both get asked frequently "where else can I launch", but a better question is "where can I find qualified sources of valuable traffic for my team to focus on?" Depending on the urgency, I'll often suggest AppSumo, but AppSumo customers are often low quality and churn after the discount or freebie expires.

Congrats on the launch Mubs! 🎉 There is a real need for a curated list of directories, there are plenty popping up on a daily basis so your project will definitely help many founders submit to high quality ones 👌 Bookmarked and will use it myself soon 🙏

@thepetermick Awesome, thank you!

Awesome Mubs 🔥 Creating your own lists is a neat feature. A submit-it-for-me service would be cool.

@derkolstad Thanks! A service is definitely something that could be an upsell, not sure I have the patience to do it myself though 😂

@mubashariqbal 😊😊😊 I believe that startups who will share their product/service will get real and authentic users?

Hey Mubashar, congratulations on launching Submitting! It's impressive that you've maintained your product hunt streak since 2015. I'm curious, apart from Product Hunt, have you tried any other platforms to share your product? Also, can users customize their own lists on Submitting? Excited to give it a try! 🚀

@goyashy Thank you! So happy to keep my streak alive. Yes users can create their own lists (requires approval from me to prevent spam at the moment). The lists you see at the moment are places I've submitted my own projects over the years, including Product Hunt!

Great concept and nice and simple design. Would be great if it would tell me which directories cost money and which are free.

@frank_apap Thanks, and yes agreed, will be adding more data to each of the list items to help determine effort to reward ratios.

Congratulations on the launch 👏 I'm not sure if this is going to tough ask, but it would be nice if each entry was tagged with demographics. So founders can avoid launching on irrelevant sites.

@jgani Definitely looking to be able to collect more data on the sites (hopefully automated) to make the lists more useful.

@mubashariqbal Hey there! 🚀 Submitting seems like a dynamic hub for product launches, and I love the idea of user-generated lists. 🌐 Quick question: How does the campaign manager work in terms of tracking submissions, and can you share an example of how it's been particularly useful for someone promoting their product?
Mubashar Iqbal
Maker
@aashish_peepra Will make a blog post about it, but basically, it's just a way for you track (manually for now) where you've submitted your work. I've done this in the past in spreadsheets, but having a specialized tool makes it much easier to keep tabs on where you've submitted site, if they submission was approved, rejected, published, etc.

Great idea - getting a traffic boost from these directories is v helpful. Good luck with the launch.

It's great to see a platform that not only provides a dynamic list of submission sites but also offers a campaign manager. Have you considered integrating analytics to track the impact of submissions?
Mubashar Iqbal
Maker
@georgef Thanks for the suggestion, love the idea of tracking the value of each of the submissions. Would require integrating with the users website analytics platform to determine, so could be a little tricky, but worth doing if Submitting get good traction!
